Frequently Asked Questions
MWC Barcelona 2027 is scheduled for 1–4 March 2027 at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona, Spain, with exhibition halls and conference sessions hosted across the Fira Gran Via complex.
Fira Gran Via is in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, just outside central Barcelona; visitors typically reach the venue via Metro line L9 Sud (stations Fira and Europa–Fira), commuter rail to nearby stations plus short taxi rides, or by shuttle buses operated during the show from key hotel areas and Barcelona El Prat Airport.
MWC Barcelona 2027 is organized by the GSMA, the global association representing mobile network operators and the wider mobile ecosystem; GSMA manages exhibition space, sponsorship, and the official program.
Exhibitors include mobile network equipment vendors, device manufacturers, telecom operators, cloud providers, satellite connectivity firms, enterprise IoT and edge computing suppliers, telecom semiconductor and module manufacturers, cybersecurity vendors, and mobile app platforms.
To exhibit, companies must contact GSMA’s sales team via the official MWC Barcelona website, submitting an expression of interest through the sponsor or exhibit portal; allocation of space is handled directly by GSMA rather than instant online purchase.
To attend as a visitor, you register through the official MWC Barcelona registration portal, choose a pass type (exhibition visitor, conference, VIP, etc.), provide company details, and complete payment online; confirmations and badges are issued digitally for on-site pickup or mobile access.
Barcelona hosts multiple major trade shows such as Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) and Smart City Expo World Congress, as well as other technology and industrial fairs at Fira Gran Via and Fira Montjuïc, making it a year‑round hub for B2B exhibitions.
International visitors usually fly into Barcelona El Prat Airport and book accommodation near Plaça d’Espanya, Sants, or L’Hospitalet for easier access to Fira Gran Via; many exhibitors reserve hotels or serviced apartments months in advance due to very high demand during MWC.
MWC Barcelona 2027 is expected to draw more than 100,000 attendees and over 2,700 exhibitors from around 200 countries, including most major mobile operators, network technology vendors, and device manufacturers, based on recent editions.
Exhibitors can ship booth materials to appointed logistics providers and on‑site warehouses at Fira Gran Via; GSMA publishes detailed exhibitor manuals covering stand build‑up and dismantling schedules, freight forwarding, and customs procedures for non‑EU shipments.
